MAL-2026-12211 Malicious code in statist-browser-typed-client-mb.product.analytics (npm)

On require() of the package, index.js loads bridge.js which detects the host platform, fetches a native binary from a rotating list of hardcoded Cloudflare workers.dev endpoints (with a DNS-TXT chunked base64 fallback via well1.site subdomains), writes it to /tmp or %TEMP% under a masquerading name such as dotnet_diag<hex>.exe or.cache_<hex>, chmods 0755, and spawns it detached via cmd.exe or /bin/sh. The C2 hostnames and payload paths are assembled at runtime through array-join string-splitting to evade static analysis, and the require of _bridge.js is wrapped in a try/catch that silently swallows errors. No hash or signature verification is performed on the downloaded binary. The result is full-host remote code execution on any machine that installs or requires this package.

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
